Retention of two of the offices would have halted the British Land development. photographs © Adrian Welch Sir Stuart calls the UBS "engine block" - designed by architect of the moment Ken Shuttleworth - "the worst large building we have seen in the City for 20 years,". British Land and US fund Blackstone, who each own 50% of the 4.4 million square foot estate. They asked for immunity from listing for numbers 4 and 6 Broadgate Circle as a precaution against English Heritage springing a surprise listing before work starts in 2012. The granting of this Certificate of Immunity should have been a matter of routine. photographs © Adrian Welch In fact English Heritage, after consulting with preservation groups such as the 20th Century Society and a number of eminent architects, decided to widen the scope of the inquiry dramatically. English Heritage confirms it is "considering the Broadgate square development as a whole". In other words, the rink as well as numbers 1, 2 and 8 Broadgate. British Land made an application for a certificate of immunity from listing in autumn 2010 as a normal part of the process with a major application. photographs © Adrian Welch If EH do list the Broadgate development the final decision rests with UK Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt. 5 Broadgate Development make image from FD 5 Broadgate Development Broadgate Development Broadgate development - new office buildings around a circular public space, much discussed upon completion.
